Bustling city with good nightlife and cultural activities

brownish hazy skies, graffiti, weird hairstyles on otherwise sexy boys
In a nutshell
Sophisticated but not stiff - efficient and accommodating
259 Reviews If you're going to Milan right now just to see the facade of the Duomo, you are going to be disappointed as its currently being renovated. (Note - renovations now complete) Don't be discouraged though - you can still go in and make sure to get the lift/stairs to the top where you can get a great...
123 Reviews The shopping gallery of Vittorio Emanuele II is just astonishing, and unlike any arcade I have seen anywhere in the world. Its cavernous interior is akin to the nearby cathedral , and is very much a place to worship at the alter of capitalistic consumerism. Right in the centre, underneath the...
5 Reviews and 336 Opinions I was there for business purposes for a short period of time only, but I can still come with a...
1 Review and 416 Opinions Why booked the Special room for 320 euro per night, because it looked the pretiest from the photos...
Street food, general, recipes....
20 Reviews La Raclette: in the Navigli area this is a medium expensive restaurant where they serve this typical swiss-french fused-cheese dish; give it a try drinkin' 'Greco di Tufo' white wine. Osteria Le Vigne: again in the Navigli area this not so formal 'osteria' is quite ok with wide wines selection and...
6 Reviews One of the biggest problems you'll have as a tourist in Italy is to find somewhere to eat between the lunch hours and the dinner hours. For some reason the italians seems to believe that the whole world is eating between 12 and 14, and then nothing until 19... They don't know me very well, that's...
19 Reviews We were trieing to find a place,where isn´t disco-music,and you could sit down and have a drink outside.We just walked by,and happened to be Rolling Stones playing on the stereo,and we sat down.We ment to have one beer,but,it became one drink and two beer,when it was nice place to sit.Music was...
15 Reviews I arrived in Milan a week ago and was keen to go out and explore the nightlife. Corso Como was the area i'd been hearing about so i headed out there with high hopes. It started to get busy at around 11.30pm, and I decided to pay the 20 euro to go into Hollywood, as i'd heard it was quite...
63 Reviews There excist subway in Milano which is the cheapest way for travelling inside the city area, and most probably the quickiest too. If visiting Milano by car, the best is to reach one of the starting subway stations at the outskirts of the town and leave it there at the huge parking areas. There are...
84 Reviews While I do not have practical information here for the train system in the Milan area, I do have two important points to share. First of all is that the trains we experienced arrived according to schedules posted. The coaches were clean and comfortable. Secondly the plans for the main stations,...
22 Reviews A great location for everyday shopping is the Corso Buenos Aires. A wide, busy street, it's everything you need from a high street - clothes, shoes, accessories, department stores, cafes, DVD and music shops etc... Beauty of C. Buenos Aires is that mixed in with the everyday are shops that sell...
42 Reviews Milan is a magnet for fashion-buyers and designer labels. The Via Montenapoleone and immediate surrounds is the home of most of the great labels of the world, where you can virtually walk out of Dolce & Gabbana and into Versace and then onto Armani, and on ... and on ... and on. It's a beautiful...
25 Reviews The custom of aperitivi is helpful when you're on a budget. Many of the bars in Milan, for the price of a drink, will give you food to go along with it. You can easily make it into a light dinner. For more details, see my Bar Magenta tip.
Torino's Bull at the Gallery (to be squeezed)
7 Reviews This bull is depicted in the coat of arms of Torino. You see that there is a hole on its genitals and may wonder why. Well, a tradition says that if you put your right heel on this hole and turn on yourself three times, this will bring you good luck. In the second photo you see my father do it...
16 Reviews Having read so many horror stories about Stazione Centrale Milan I think it's a good idea to make a tip about it. Context: I am a solo middle-aged female traveller. I am European. Milan Centrale is no more and no less 'dangerous' than any similar-sized station anywhere in Europe. The only 'danger'...
25 Reviews Mugging is rare in Italy but pickpockets are common and extremely skilled, especially in Naples, Rome and Milan, with Florence close behind. Organise your valuables so that pickpockets can't get at them because there's little or nothing you can do to avoid being a target. Money, credit cards and...
17 Reviews Be very careful with guys who come up to you and thrust corn into your hands to feed the pigeons in from on the Dumo. Even though this makes a fantastic picture with the dones eating from your palm... they guys who give you the corn try to rip you off. They are you where you are from and ask to be...
11 Reviews This is a special WARNING for all male visitors of Milan! There are two streets in Milan which you have to AVOID: first one MONTENAPOLEONE, and the second one Via della SPIGA! This two streets are probably the most expensive streets on earth. There are no prices at all in the shop-windows. DO YOU...
The Lake District: Como, Maggiore, Iseo, Lugano ...
21 Reviews The city of Como on the shores of Lake Como is an easy day trip from Milan - a 45 minute train journey from Milano Cadorna station, with trains running regularly throughout the day and late into the night. It's a lovely city - the historic centre and cathedral, the many shoreline villas, ferries to...
9 Reviews Secondhand best shopping in Milan by Docks Dora... an old factory partially renewed to host a great secondhand store for trousers, shirts, jackets & many other stuff ... it deserves a quick visit even if you're not a 2ndhand fan. Away from the crowd located in via Toffetti.
14 Reviews Even my reply is late for you, i think you might like to know what i'm going to say. Tickets for Inter games can be bought on line one week before the game, on the Internet: www.intern.it. You receive a kind of voucher which you have to print and when you go to the stadium, there are special places...
25 Reviews I mentioned that the Piazza del Duomo seems like a natural center in town. In front of the Duomo itself is the piazza and it is occupied by pigeons, tourists, street vendors and people trying to sell pigeon feed to the tourists. The people trying to sell the pigeon feed were a bit aggressive and...
